president obama has 13. on district judges, according to the congressional research service, during the first term of president obama, his district judges were considered a little more slowly than president george w. bush's, but the senate changed the rules earlier this year to cut down the postcloture debate time to make it easier to bring judges to the floor and get them through more rapidly. perhaps that's why the score is 13-1 with obama getting 13 judges and bush getting one in the same period of time in the second term. so i don't know where thi is coming from. in addition, we have never blocked a district judge by filibuster, neither party in the history of the senate, and in the circuit judges, we never have blocked a circuit judge until george w. bush made some nominations about the time i came to the senate ten years ago, and the democrats started it. they cause m estrada to be blocked and a number of others anug cloture motions time after time and we had a gang of six, eight, ten or 14 tha slowed

"these cutbacks, with all the harm that's being caused to the traveling public, there's just no reason that i can see that justifies what's being done here." flight delay information is available at faa.gov. a bill will be introduced in the senate today aimed at banks that are considered too-big-to- fail. the legislation is meant to reduce risk at banks carrying more than $500 billion in assets. under the bill, the nation's largest lenders would have to raise the amount of money on hand, known as capital standards. the bi- partisan legislation is backed by a senate democrat and republican. they say the intent is to guard against the need for a taxpayer bailout in a financial cris
